You seem to be confused. Nearly all differences in religious opinion are the result of interpretation, not translation. It's highly unlikely Aslan has found a different translation where Jesus claims he's not the Son of God or the Messiah.

To test your theory you are free to find such a verse. Since there are many translations (according to you), this should be no problem for you to grab off of Google.

Maybe this is news to you, but the Catholic bible includes books that aren't in the protestant bible. And beyond that, the differences between translations can be pretty substantial. But that's neither here nor there, since I don't think Aslan is basing his thesis on any version of the bible. At least not exclusively.

It appears you missed my earlier post where I specifically stated 2 arguments he made, and rebutted them with specific verses from the Bible. Since you missed that part, I advise you to go back and read what you missed.

Then, you will see that your point here was null.

You can't rebut them with a verse from the Bible, unless his argument is something like "the Bible says X".

No, if I recall, you didn't state two arguments he made, you stated two brief assertions, without regard to his support of the assertions.

At the same time, you are citing to the Bible as proof, which as mentioned before, is ridiculous.

I'm laughing that you keep making the same dumb point. Aslan himself writes that he relies on the New Testament to construct his view of Jesus. So the entire point is what that text says or does not say. You cannot possibly be this stupid. Even Aslan would tell you to start following the discussion.

You are correct. Luke specifically states he's relying on eyewitness accounts. Therefore Aslans argument the Gospels aren't really meant to be historical is very odd.

Thanks, thats pretty much the point I was trying to make.

The fact that these major works were found to have been completed before 70AD (in greek) almost certainly points to them being eye witness accounts....and I do not believe there are any writings out there around the same time (by people from the same area etc..) who denounce the gospels as a false history.

If they were false, you would think someone at the time would've possibly refuted them.

Like you, I'm not getting into whether the stories were true or not.....just that there is more proof than not that Jesus existed and did some pretty cool stuff.

There's a reason there aren't any Bibles in Catholic churches, just like there's a reason the KJ was translated into the international language of English and was the mainstay for four millenia, just like there's a reason there have been 200 new translation in the last 100 years...

Job, chapter 9. I believe that the mediator Job cries out for is Jesus.

32 “He (God) is not a mere mortal like me that I might answer him,
that we might confront each other in court.
33 If only there were someone to mediate between us,
someone to bring us together,
34 someone to remove God’s rod from me,
so that his terror would frighten me no more.
35 Then I would speak up without fear of him,
but as it now stands with me, I cannot.
